Oracle Entitlements Server provides logging to enhance the developer's environment.
Oracle Entitlements Server uses the standard Java package java.util.logging for logging. The name of the logging setup file is logging.properties. It is the standard configuration file for the Java Development Kit (JDK) and it is located (by default) in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/.
Note:
Configure the location of logging.properties by running the following on the command line with the actual path based on your install.
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/path/filename
Java logging defines log levels to control output ranging from FINEST (the lowest priority with the least amount of detail) to SEVERE (the highest priority intended for fatal program errors and the like). Enabling logging at a given level also enables logging at all higher levels. Table 9-1 contains the specific logger properties that can be set to FINE (details for debugging and diagnosing problems) to provide information for purposes of troubleshooting server issues.
Table 9-1 Logging Server Issues
| To Troubleshoot... | Set These Properties To FINE |
|---|---|
|
Policy management issues |
|
|
Basic authorization issues |
|
|
Policy distribution issues |
|
|
WebLogic Server, RMI or Web Services Security Module issues |

After modifying logging.properties, ensure the java.util.logging.config.file system property is set by running the following command:
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/<directory>/logging.properties
Example 9-1 is the default Oracle Entitlements Server logging.properties file.
